  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Carlisle Rural Masterplanning Settlement Analysis Template
    Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning GREAT ORTON GREAT ORTON Figure 1: Location of Great Orton January 2013 Page 1 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning GREAT ORTON Settlement profile: Strategic position Great Orton is over 5 miles southwest of Carlisle. It is a mile from the busy A595. The settlement’s position and services means it lacks any strategic role. However, the presence of a primary school, which serves a fairly wide rural area, brings people to the village. It also has an established, well-used shop. It has a number of footpaths passing through the village and is better served than many surrounding areas with bridle-paths. General description of settlement Great Orton is a strung-out linear settlement extending over half a mile along a road running in a north-south direction. There is a historically significant church with Norman origins and a variety of buildings of differing ages including some very recent housing infill. There are farms and farm buildings in the settlement, indicative of the importance at least historically, of farming for this area. The houses are mainly 2-storey although there is single storey sheltered accommodation and some bungalows at the southern edge of the village. There is an attractive variety of materials and a distinctive geometric style to the architecture of the older houses in the vicinity of the Church. It is surprising that this part at least is not a conservation area. The road junction at the Church is potentially the focal point of the village, but the layout at present is divided with parking for the Church and a grassy area.
